Klappentext zu „Poetry's Self-Portrait “
The intricate relationship between poetry and the visual arts has invited centuries of speculation about a deep connection of all art to mysterious sources of inspiration. In contrast, this study considers their association to be the ideological effect of a "colonizing" gaze which is essentially self-referential. By analyzing the poetry of René Char and John Ashbery, both deeply involved with art and artists, this study persuasively argues that the arts traditionally act for poetry as a kind of muse: a source of inspiration and a mirror for poetic self-definition.

Pressezitat
"Though this study concentrates on and elucidates several important poems of two of the most challenging twentieth century poets, its great contribution lies in its exploration of the poet's act of self discovery through representation - a topic of perennial interest - viewed here with a fresh gaze." (Arnold J. Band, UCLA)"Marked by a critical and theoretical sophistication, Eichbauer's study provides a compelling reading of two of the twentieth century's major poets and their relationship to the visual arts. It also affords a fresh perspective on the relationship between the visual and temporal arts of painting and poetry and the issues of aesthetic origins, self-reflection and self-portraiture. Her text should prove rewarding reading for scholars of literature and literary theory as well as those interested in the visual arts." (Kathleen Komar, UCLA)
